Akshaye Khanna was born on 28th March 1975 in Mumbai, India.Akshay Khanna is the youngest son of actor Vinod Khanna. His elder brother Rahul Khanna is also an actor. He also has two half siblings, a sister and a brother from his father's second marriage. His major interest remains Hindi cinema (also called Bollywood). He has completed a training course at Kishore Namit Kapoor Acting Institute.

At the age of 22 in 1997, Khanna made his debut in his father's production Himalaya Putra. His next release was J. P. Dutta's Border (1997) for which he received a Filmfare Best Debut Award. His later films included Taal (1999), Dil Chahta Hai (2001) and Humraaz (2002). He then attempted comedy in Priyadarshan's Hungama (2003) and Hulchul (2004), the latter became one of the highest grossing films of 2004.

The commercial success of a film can make or break the best of them. And of five releases starring Akshaye, apart from Border which did well, none of the others have made even a minimal impact. Two, Doli Sajake Rakhna and Kudrat were complete wash-outs. Aa Ab Laut Chalen also failed to spin magic for him, though it did decently for him otherwise. Khanna agrees, but he stresses that while there is no formula to determine the success factor, he stands by all his choices.

Abbas Mustan’s Humraaz (2002) saw him in a negative role as Karan, scheming with his girlfriend to rip off a rich guy. His other releases were Hungama (2003), LoC Kargil (2003) and Hulchul (2004) which were pretty average.

Akshaye Khanna is aries.His lucky numbers are 3 and 30. He will face lot of competition in his career. This is a blessing in disguise as it will bring the best out of him. Always be in the company of optimists. he will need such an environment this year to not to put his head down.

His work pressure might strain personal relationships. Give due importance and space to his near and dear ones. In 2009, Khanna made a fleeting appearance in Zoya Akhtar’s Luck By Chance and will be seen in One Way Ticket and Shortcut – the Con is On which will be having average business as he should try to release these movies on date 3 or 12.
